Shi Xi stared wide-eyed at Di Chenxiao in astonishment.
Di Chenxiao quickly explained, "I didn't kill him, it was suicide. He had poison in his mouth, and before I could even interrogate him, he bit through the poison and committed suicide."
"Poison? There really is poison in this world!"
She thought poison was just a hoax in TV dramas, but she never expected that poison really existed.
Di Chenxiao: ...Xixi's focus is a bit unusual. Shouldn't she be concerned about who wants to kill her?
But this simple-minded person with a quirky way of thinking is the one he likes.
Di Chenxiao selectively forgot about Shi Xi's murderous gaze and abnormal movements at the barbecue restaurant entrance.
"You! Of course there are poisons in this world, and there are plenty in Di Wu's room."
The girl's eyes lit up. "Di Wu's room... has a lot of... poison!"
I really want some!
Seeing Shi Xi's eager expression, Di Chenxiao knew what she wanted to do.
"I'll ask Emperor Wu to give you a few bottles of poison tomorrow morning."
"Is Emperor Wu at Xiyuan? I need poison right now."
Unable to resist Shi Xi's curiosity, Di Chenxiao took her to Di Wu's room.
Di Wu lay dejectedly on the sofa, looking at Di Yi, Di Er, and Di Shi opposite him.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. "What brings you here?"
Di Shi: "You examined Xiao Xi's body. Did she...did she...lose her memory?"
Emperor Wu frowned and sat up.
Tonight, Xiyuan has made such a big fuss, with the master personally leading dozens of secret guards out; he couldn't possibly not know about it.
"Amnesia? I haven't detected anything yet. What's wrong?"
Di Yi couldn't help but speak up: "Shi Xi dodged the shots and even subdued an assassin with one move. According to the guards who were present at the time, Shi Xi's expression was full of murderous intent, unlike an ordinary person. That's why A Shi asked you if Shi Xi had lost her memory."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu's already furrowed brows tightened even more.
"When she gets her next medical checkup, I'll examine her brain again. If... if she hasn't lost her memory, then her naivety and kindness were all an act..."
"It's not an act..." Di Wu was interrupted by Di Shi before he could finish speaking.
Di Wu shrugged. "I meant if. Right now, Master is completely focused on Shi Xi. If she has some ulterior motive towards Master, then Master will be in big trouble. Master finally got over Miss Chong Xi's relationship, he can't afford to..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew what he was going to say.
The master cannot bear the betrayal of Shi Xi, nor can he bear losing the woman he loves again.
Di Yi casually leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said nonchalantly, "Let's not worry about what Shi Xi will do to Master. Look at Master now. If Shi Xi wanted to make a move, she would have succeeded long ago."
Moreover, our master seems to have amnesia, not noticing Shi Xi's strange behavior at all. What are we worrying about for no reason?
The master had no suspicion of Shi Xi at all. Shi Xi could freely enter the master's study, and any part of Xiyuan Garden was open to her, except for the area inside the torture chamber, which the master hadn't allowed her to enter for fear of frightening her.
A torture chamber?
"I heard from Di Xing that when Shi Xi first came to Xiyuan, she went to the torture chamber. Could it be that she wanted to save someone in the torture chamber? Or is the torture chamber her only goal?"
The torture chamber imprisoned Di Chenxiao's enemies; not a single one of them was an ordinary person.
Di Yi got more and more excited as he spoke, "How about we send Shi Xi to the very back of the torture chamber and see what she does?"
Indra objected, "No!"
Shi Xi heard Di Shi loudly say "No" from outside the door.
After entering the room, she asked, "What's wrong?"
